No hit delay was not nearly as bad this map as it was last map. without charms the battleaxe was perfectly balanced. thanos pants is a permenant lowered hit delay and far less hit delay while sneaking. Dr Strange Shoes allow you to move almost completely normally sneaking, allowing for no hit delay with no considerable debuffs. And deadpool death eyes allow for everlasting strength 3 and resistance 2 (and regen 3 if you use soul stone) because you receive almost no debuff while shifting. While yes, Ultras/Legendaries/Mythicals should give a very considerable advantage it shouldnt be to the point where your opponent takes less than half a heart per hit, can no hit delay, and have almost no debuffs. While yes no hit delay allows you to win 2v1s. thats only under the circrumstance that neither of your opponents has nohitdelay. if both of them do you will be completely overwhelmed. The only thing that made battleaxe truly unbalanced was santa arms, aside from that it was pretty easy to survive.
A worse version of pollen would be pretty cool and i actually really like this suggestion. As such im not going to argue with you over it
Again I agree, Hash is not a balanced item in any manner. On top of this both of the maps that included hash as part of the farming system introduced cleansing flowers/mud.
No hit delay does not counter teaming if your opponents also have no hit delay… that isnt how it works. Im asking for an item that would specifically benefit solo players when in large fights. At the same time it should be an item that doesnt make large teams even more overpowered (like luna sweater)
